Learn More About Therapy With Me
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’ve been carrying anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional pain on your own for a long time. You might know something isn’t working anymore but feel unsure where to begin. Fortunately, finding a compassionate Ohio online therapist can help you navigate these complex feelings. That hesitation makes total sense, and you’re not behind or broken for feeling that way.
Because your healing should be a collaborative process, we will always move at your own preferred pace. Specifically, my clinical approach focuses closely on your strengths, lived experiences, and inner wisdom. As a dedicated Ohio online therapist, I often work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, identity questions, grief, and life transitions. Consequently, I specialize in helping individuals reconnect with stability and self-trust. Therefore, you don’t need to show up with everything figured out. Therapy with me is very much a “come as you are” space.
About Candace L. Cooper, MSW, LSW
Hi, I’m Candace, a Licensed Social Worker with over five years of experience in social work and more than three years providing therapy. My work is rooted in a person-centered philosophy. Meaning, I see you as the ultimate authority on your life, and I walk alongside you as a collaborator rather than an expert telling you what to do.
In addition to individual counseling, I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, identity and self-esteem concerns, grief, childhood trauma, and spiritual or religious questions. Moreover, I’m deeply committed to LGBTQIA+ affirming care and culturally responsive practice.
My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. As a result, I draw from a blend of evidence-based approaches to support the whole person—emotionally, mentally, and relationally. Taking the first step toward therapy is often the hardest part; however, if you’re here, you’re already doing something brave. When you’re ready for the next step, I’d be honored to support you on your journey back to yourself.
